ScanWatch 2 battery life
ScanWatch 2 is equipped with a battery that goes well beyond the expectations of people who are familiar with the world of connected watches. Learn more about how you can optimize its performance.
ScanWatch 2 has been designed so that you can detect several pathologies whose symptoms may be very mild or episodic. Therefore, having a longer battery life than what was typically found on the market was essential in order not to miss these signs. Although ScanWatch 2 is crafted to run for 30 days before needing to recharge, battery life is affected by use, and below we give an example of a typical 30-day-use scenario.
Sample Scenario
-
Activity:
· 5000 steps per day
· 30 minutes of physical activity per week with Workout Mode enabled and the "Screen Always On" option disabled or when ScanWatch 2 detects running. Note that use of connected GPS does not affect battery life. -
Sleep:
· 8 hours of sleep a day
· Respiratory Scan off
· Automatic oxygen saturation measurement off during the night -
Heart Health:
· Live heart rate check once a day
· Detection and notification of irregular heartbeats (AFib)
· One Electrocardiogram (ECG) and one blood oxygen level (SpO2) measurement every 3 days -
Settings:
· Connection to smartphone 12 hours a day in Bluetooth®
· 5 notifications a day
· Quicklook feature off
· No alarms set
· Automatic screen brightness adjustment off
· Up to 5 minutes per day of total on-screen time
Expected battery life may be affected by use, especially if your ScanWatch 2 is used in a different manner than outlined above. Also be aware that signal and network quality, your smartphone model, or various environmental factors may also reduce expected battery life.
ScanWatch 2 energy consumption
In order to better understand the energy consumption each feature uses, the table below will allow you to identify which operation is more or less draining on the battery.
| Low power consumption | Medium power consumption | High power consumption | Very high power consumption |
|
- Pedometer - TempTech 24/7 temperature monitoring - Sleep analysis - Detection of irregular heartbeats (Atrial Fibrillation) - Heart rate monitoring - Altimeter - Stopwatch - Timer - Crown use |
- Alarms - Quicklook feature - Automatic activity detection - Breathe feature - Notifications - SpO2 measurements - ECG recordings - Synchronization with the application |
- Workouts |
- Respiratory Scan |
The most energy-consuming features are not activated by default and are dedicated to more periodic use since they do not need to be activated continuously for the user, or in the interest of a medical follow-up. This is notably the case for the Respiratory Scan.
Recharging ScanWatch 2
When the battery level reaches 10%, you will receive a notification. At 10% you can no longer run a Respiratory Scan. When the battery reaches 0%, your watch activates power reserve mode. Only the analog clock, step, and sleep monitoring features remain available, and only for about a few days.
You can easily recharge your ScanWatch 2 by nestling the watch into the charger's cradle.
ScanWatch 2 recharges to 80% in about 1 hour and to 100% in about 2 hours.
